Adventism: What does it stand for?

Where did it come from? Where it is heading?

These and other questions form the backdrop for George R. Knight's fast-reading but informative treatment of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

From the denomination's founding to the present, A Brief History of Seventh-day Adventists takes its readers step-by-step through the development of the church. At the focal point is the missiological burden that literally propelled Adventism into every corner of the earth.

A Brief History fills the important need of providing a short but accurate history of Adventism that can be appreciated by church members and nonmembers alike. It provides an excellent starting place for the study of Seventh-day Adventism.
